Moonlight on moorings with you on my mind
If you go a little crazy when the light is black
Get on a different track, find out what you lack
And you'll make it back
And it sure seems strange here in hollywood
But i'm looking good, i'll put on my hood
And dream of birnam wood
You sure gotta funny way of hanging on
'cause i'm going blind
You sure got a funny way of hanging on
'cause i'm going blind
